Appetizer Idea & Girls Night

It's Thursday!!!!!

I'm so happy hubs has the weekend off

and my sister's couples shower is this Sunday

and soon I'll be floating on a big giant boat!!!

 Yesterday was a fun day!

I started out by taking care of the volcano of clothing that had

erupted all over our bedroom floor...

started vacuuming and dusting every crevice in our bedroom

and cleaning with those Pledge wipes all the way 

down the staircase.
Spring cleaning anyone??

I had lunch at Panera Bread with my mother-in-law Maria

I seriously am so blessed to have her as my MIL.

I know too many people who don't get along with theirs,

but mine? I am completely spoiled!!

We enjoyed salads & soups and I had their Mango Smoothie 

{omg so good!}

I was sad when I had to bring her back to work 

:(
I ran some errands,

--may have bought another maxi dress at Target--

brought a chai latte up to Joe

and while I was there, the slushie truck came!

And even though it was not very warm 

{low 60's}

darn lake 

We still enjoyed the first slushie of the year!

Last night was our monthly girls night too, so fun!

I had "appetizers" and I didn't really feel like making something

really filling and fattening, plus I had a lot of snacky foods

leftover from my sister's bachelorette party. 

So, I decided to make some pita chips and serve as a Tapas platter.

Pita Chips:

Small whole wheat pita pockets cut into fours

Toss with seasonings

Bake on a sheet at 375 12-15 mins

These things were good even before I threw them in the oven!

Served with:

Cranberry Goat Cheese

Tzatziki

Lemon Dill Hummus

Guacamole-

 {3/4 avocado, lime juice, 2 chopped cherry tomatoes, 1 Tbs of chopped shallot, sea salt/pepper}

Matty served Upside Down Pineapple Cake Martinis

Pork burgers stuffed with apples & bacon

and Alison made Key Lime Pie!

The crust was Christmas in my mouth...

I won't tell you Matty's metaphor 

=O

It was a perfect day and I am so grateful for such happy,

positive people in my life. 

Whether times are good or bad, I know these 3 always have my back.

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!

And I saw this quote the other day

and just wanted to share it

because it is 

so

very

true.
